Apple iOS LogoApple has released iOS 4.3.5 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. If you’ve launched iTunes while connecting your device today, you probably aware of the update.

According to Apple’s release note, this is another bug fix release before the debut of iOS 5. The iOS 4.3.5 mainly fixes a security vulnerability with certificate validation.

Impact: An attacker with a privileged network position may capture or modify data in sessions protected by SSL/TLS

Description: A certificate chain validation issue existed in the handling of X.509 certificates. An attacker with a privileged network position may capture or modify data in sessions protected by SSL/TLS. Other attacks involving X.509 certificate validation may also be possible. This issue is addressed through improved validation of X.509 certificate chains.

The update is available via iTunes or you can download iOS 4.3.5 firmware by using the following direct links:

If you do not need jailbreaking or ultrasn0w unlocking, you’re recommended to upgrade to iOS 4.3.5 to fix the security issue. For jailbreakers, please read on.

Jailbreaker, Please Take Note

A few hours after the release of iOS 4.3.5, @musclenerd from iPhone Dev team confirmed the Redsn0w already supports jailbreaking on the latest iOS version. The jailbreaking should work on all devices except iPad 2.

To jailbreak iOS 4.3.5, you need first upgrade your device to 4.3.5 and use the latest version of redsn0w to jailbreak it. But instead of pointing to iOS 4.3.5 firmware in Redsn0w, point it to iOS 4.3.4 instead.

Presently, redsn0w only supports tethered jailbreak on iOS 4.3.5. That means every time you reboot your device you have to connect it back to computer and use redsn0w to boot it up.

So if you want untethered jailbreaking, stay away from the upgrade and keep your device on iOS 4.3.3.
